About me and my therapy practice

I see people with a wide range of issues, first appointment is £20 subsequent sessions £40 per hour. I use a range of ideas and approaches to explore how the past might be affecting your life in ways that might be problematic, as well as strategies to help deal with difficulties as they arise. Sometimes the defences or methods we use to help us cope with life can cause their own issues, some ways we use to distract ourselves are more manageable than others, but usually looking at what is behind the initial problem is very helpful, although of course this can be difficult and painful as well! Therapy should help you to explore how you really feel with someone who is on your side but can help you look at what you are doing as well how others are reacting to you.
